Genuine tempo from Flying Billie leading Steele My Sunshine. FLYING BILLIE (3) is a progressive type in form including an all the way win in tougher class latest. More weight this time but has a low draw, aided by the claim and will take catching again. VERBANO (7) returns from a two start stint in Victoria and is well paced this class. The soft track suits and best figures stack up. Expecting big improvement. ADACHI (5) has missed the frame last two but hasn't been too far away. Should be ready to peak and can improve sharply. DANCING WOLF (8) finished fifth last start over 1150m at Devonport Synthetic after racing on the pace for much of the way. Sure to give a sight. GEEGEE STRAWBERRY (12) will be winding up strongly again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flying Billie will take catching.
